QUOTABLES
Truman Head Coach Jerod Simek
"We had a very great weekend of racing with multiple season-best times, lifetime-best times, competitive national times, and school records! This meet is more condensed and we ask the team to swim more events than the conference meet and they responded well. We are going to evaluate where we are as a team to continue our success through the second half of the season!"

Up next, in their final meet of the calendar year, the men and women will host Division I Western Illinois on Saturday, Dec. 1 beginning at 1 p.m.
